[MOD] Lego 8 stud wide 60052

[ParmBrick]

This is the 8 stud wide version [MOD] of the cargo train engine from set 60052. It has power functions, two seater cabin, wider footbridges (front and lateral), 2 side doors, 2 sliding doors that access to the cabin from lateral footbridges. Fort the rest it is the same as original. I modified it to to make it look like more realistic to american train engines.

I think that widening the locomotive it results even shorter and disproportionate to the real scale,

you should consider making the locomotive longer than now ... nice cabin anyway!

Thank you for the tip! This is my first attempt to work on this scale with a train, so I know that this construction is not perfect. Tip, criticism and appreciation are welcome!

Now it looks a lot more like one of these:

Nice find! My train engine really looks like your photo, except for some small difference.
